Page 2: Important Safety Instructions
What more can you do after launching one of the best DAC’s available today? We are aware that our current flagship ADAGIO is hard to beat but at least one idea was not realized yet. The idea of having a decent volume control to prevent a necessary pre-amplifier could improve performance dramatically. - Page 3 10. The ADAGIO pre-amplifier must be placed on a firm, level surface where it is not exposed to dripping or splashing.

Page 5: Inputs & Connections
RCA outputs: Standard interlinks can be used to connect the DAC to your amplifier. The "ADAGIO" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output will be 2 Volts RMS or 700 mV RMS in case of using the -10dB setting. Your (pre)amplifier should handle this output levels. - Page 6 XLR outputs: Standard XLR line cables should be used to connect the DAC to your (pre) amplifier. The "ADAGIO" is designed conform the "Red book standard" so the maximum output for the XLR output will be 4 Volts RMS or 1.4Volts RMS in case of using the -10dB setting.
- Page 7 • Remote switch: Depending the type of power amplifier it is possible to switch it “On” or “Off” by using one or both of the remote switches. For the connection, a 3 pole XLR mini connector can be used and depending the way your power amplifier should be powered, it can be wired accordingly.

Page 8: Operation
When switching the ADAGIO to “standby mode” muting will be active again. When the ADAGIO is operational you can use the mute function only by using the remote control. In this situation, the JADE shows you the selected digital source but also the red “Standby/ mute”... - Page 9 Standby mode the ADAGIO will not switched off. Only when waiting for a few seconds the JADE will go into standby mode when selected. Error indication: When no digital data is coming in, the orange “Remote /Error” led above •...
- Page 10 The remote control is made to control the available digital inputs. As opposed to the front panel buttons where you can select one of the digital sources directly, the remote will toggle through the entire range of available digital sources. When the JADE is set into the stand-by mode, it will remember the last input selection and is available again when the JADE is switched on.
